and is more partie ulv scribed and claimed by the United States PatentOflice on March The object of the invention is to provide simple andefficient means where-'oy Vthe Sli-.ide roller brackets and the curtainpole brackets can be firmly and securely held in adjusted position7 theparts being so positioned that they will not mar-the body ol The deviceas a result ol their movementduring adjustment. I

Another object is to simplify Aand strengthen the bracketrand to providesimple means lor fastening the curtain pole bracket to each endv of thedwvice.A

Another object is to provide clamping;l means d esigned to secure therollerand polo brackets' in piace, Said means being shiitablo to anydesired positim'i in relation to the brackets. Y

With these and other objects in. consists of certain novel features' olconstruction and combinations of 'parts which will be hereinafter morefully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of theinvention.

In said drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of a bracket embodyingthe present improvements: F s 2 is a plan view oi' one' end portionthereof; big-3 is a section on line :n--tg Fig. 2', and Fig. /lis a planview ol one end of a modilied. form ol device.

to the ligeros by characters of relerence, l, l designate two :similarmembers constituting an extensible rod A and each ol these members isprelerably formed of metal substantially V-shaped in cross section. Asboth ol the members and the parts connected thereto are ol the sameconstruction it is deemed necessary to describe only one ol' them7 itbeing ol' course understood that the two members are designed to bcsecured in a ny position to which they may be adjusted by means ol'clamping members 2 which partly surround the lap` two members and aredisposed to View' the in vention {eterring piner portions ol the befastened in place by set screws' or in any: other preferred manner.

The outer end ol themember il is'fiattened and extended Forwardly uit rignt angles as shownat l2 to constitute a bracket for a shade roller. The outer end ot theniember 8A. howevenis clamped upon'a lcross strip 13 by moans of abinding plate it which is held in place upon the cross strip by means ofscrews l5 or other suitable devices. One el these screws'also serves tosecure in place one end o a pole, the other end oi said bracket beingcross strip i3 in any preferred manner.

An ann 2O is also adjustably vmounted upon thechanneled -face of the member 1 and likewise constitutes a part of myfeo-pending application heretofore mentioned. i i

As heretofore stated the present invention relates to the particularconstruction and arrangement of the adjustable members 8 and 9 and themeans for connecting the cui-tain pole bracket to the member S. Byforming the two members VS and. 9 oi metal strips channeledlongitudinally they are rendered sufficiently strong to prevent bendingand as the member S-nests within the member t) both oi said nien-iberscan be clamped in place by a single securing device such as indicated at10. llie. flanges 7 venting sagging ol' the parts and it becomesimpossible to disconnect them .except by withdrawing them longitudinallylrom between the flanges.. i members do not eoutact'with the exposedportion of the member l. said member will not be scratched or otherwiscmarred by the adjustment ot' the device. Ini- .ttaehed to the meansemployed for fastenbracket lo tlie'member 8 because said portone'- ising the pole brochet can, as ar( sult thereof, be readilyconnected i thebase 5 by movingr them longitudinally thereon.
